I have been tracking this game's development and loving where it's been going for AGES now, the Kickstarter has a week left in it, and I've been added as a writer in the stretch goals! This is premium sci-fi #TTRPG action, don't miss out on it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sol...

I think about this headline all of the time.

You still have time to join the time war!

It's the final Against Time and Death Kickstarter update before the end! And, fittingly, I talk about how you find out who won the time war (if, indeed, anyone did!). Join me, and let's see how far we get! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ick... 🔴 🔵

SOLARCRAWL: Hello travelers, we are achingly close to breaking through on the Far Worlds stretch goal, unlocking planetary destinations from @wilkiescandylab.com, @calumgrace.bsky.social, @pandiongames.com and @alanbahr.net! Not only that, once we've onboarded those folks, we're on to to patches!

Holy smokes, I try to not check too often, but Solarcrawl is just a few hundred dollars away from the next tier of guest writers! Folks, we may be getting a passel of extra goodies for this one at this rate. Sorry about how un-ziney this is becoming, Zine-Quest friends!

Get in on the time shenanigans; make your agents kiss and/or kill each other over infinite possible timelines!

Nick has written a very thoughtful overview of Against Time and Death, including some quotes from me about designing the game. It’s well worth a read if you’re at all interested in a new epic/intimate duet ttrpg. And once you’ve read it, click through to the Kickstarter!

🚨 News from the multiverse incoming! 🚨 Possibly the most requested duo here on Bluesky, I'm super excited to say that @acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social Shawn and Navi are joining the Against Time and Death team! Welcome them into the time war, Drakes! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ick...

I am stoked beyond words for Solarcrawl, folks. Come for the incredible Galen Pejeau art, stay for the strange and joyous sense of awe that nothing but great sci-fi exploration can provide.

Hey you! Yeah you! Go back Nick’s brilliant two-player asynchronous epistolary time war/love story game if you haven’t yet. It’s bloody brilliant.

SOLARCRAWL, a system-neutral, OSR campaign of brave astronauts and planetary hexmaps is launching this coming week! I'm going to be shouting about that quite a lot, so bear with me. There's quite a cast of characters coming on board for stretch goals and more and more planets to visit as well!

Tired: ”RPGs are like playing cops and robbers.” Wired: ”Roleplaying is a conversation.” Inspired: ”Dice games are really easy, you just roll the dice and say stuff.”

❤️ Announcement incoming! 💙 The first dynamic duo to join the Against Time and Death Kickstarter is the Storybrewers, Hayley Gordon (@storybrewers.bsky.social) and Vee Hendro! You know: Good Society, Fight With Spirit, and more! Spread the word: they'll be writing a special quickstart for the game!

It's a total war for all of time and space, and you've just met the most fascinating person in the multiverse. Only problem is, they're fighting for the other side. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ick...

A lot of people will have more intelligent, moving and deep things to say about Lynch. I’ll just say that this sentiment of his is really powerful to me.

This is a beautiful tribute.

Went from never having heard of this to buying it in under a second.

Do you design TTPRG zines that are explicitly designed to be printed on a home printer or even photocopied at the library? Can I give you a metaphorical soapbox to stand on while I interview you? (I'd appreciate reposts on this one, I'm trying to reach more than just my inner circle)

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

Hell. Yes.

hmmmmmmmmff 🍷

Just saw Conclave, liked it quite a lot, and couldn’t shake the feeling that it might make for good inspiration for a modern-day mystery for @rolistespod.itch.io s Rosewood Abbey.

Back in the UK, still awake at Australian hours. Fighting my own small war against time. Speaking of time wars, sign up to my #ZineQuest Kickstarter pre-launch page for Against Time and Death! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ick... (Marketing is hard.)

First game of Arcs yesterday! Really enjoyed it. Relatively simple rules but super intricate interplay of all the different systems and variables – it’s going to take a long time to really learn all the ins and out here, I think.

Repost for timezone reasons!

Hi friends! I got asked to refill community copies on one of my old games, and I thought what a good opportunity to do a little something for christmas! So as of now there's 24 additional community copies of all of my Wretched & Alone-games on itch! Go get 'em and happy holidays, all!
